The New York Times places Ferreira “squarely at the center of contemporary female pop”.

Notwithstanding its happiness or lack thereof, Night Time, My Time has done pretty well, bagging big reviews everywhere from online hipster music site Pitchfork (which gave it an 8.1 out of 10) to The New York Times, which placed Ferreira “squarely at the centre of contemporary female pop”. Its sound is smart and unpolished – Courtney Love meets Saint Etienne meets the Jesus and Mary Chain – with bold hooks, gnashing guitars and squelching synths.

Sky Ferreira has now arrived in Australia.
Her London gig lasted just six songs before collapsing under the weight of its own incompetence, but since then things have been bolstered and tightened up. Her band of skinny boys with undercuts may be a drummer short – they had to borrow one from a band in Melbourne – but they’re tight and confident.

Nearly every song starts with a buzzsaw synth before Ferreira plunges in. She does air-punching hedonism (24 Hours), angsty self-destructiveness (I Blame Myself) and pouty, pedal-to-the-metal pop (You’re Not the One) in equally convincing style. As the gig wears on and Ferreira gets more confident – she even takes her shades off – you have the feel of a project, long mired in difficulties, finally starting to fly.

Sky Ferreira has hit out at her record label for not making her new album available on vinyl and says she’ll make them herself.
Ferreira’s long-awaited new album Night Time, My Time is due to be released digitally on October 29th, however she took to Facebook yesterday to express her anger over her record label not being able to produce the album on vinyl. The singer has since deleted the post and it’s unknown as to what will actually be happening in regards to the vinyl print

Sky Ferreira, 21-year-old ascendant pop star is on doctors’ orders not to sing for a little while due to an illness affecting her vocal cords, according to a Facebook post. “Sadly, the timing will force me to miss this week’s shows with Vampire Weekend,” Ferreira wrote. She apologized to the band and her fans.

But.”People have always said I’m a drug addict, just based on the fact that I have dark circles around my eyes— which I’ve had since I was a kid— or because I come across a certain way or dress a certain way. So that’s not something that’s new. But I would be in rehab; I would not be on this Vampire Weekend tour. And I wouldn’t be able to go on stage everyday and deal with this. ”

No one actually knows what happened besides Cole and I and the Saugerties police.
Long-delayed debut album “Night Time, My Time,” out Oct. 29 from Capitol and filled with smart, self-aware, unpolished pop songs, will likely enhance her reputation further.
